Inverse of Next Siblings Selector

Question

So I came across the Next Sibling Selector on the jQuery docs today:

$("label + input")

And was wondering - is there an inverse of this selector? i.e. select the Previous Sibling?

I could use:

$("label + input").prev()

For example in this fiddle, I get all labels in which a label is followed by an input, which is what I want, but is this the only way to do it?

label + input selects all the input immediate next to a label. The prev() selects the label preceding an input. Can you please tell me what exactly you are looking at? — Rupam Datta, Aug 28 '13 at 11:26
@RupamDatta See edit, I want a list of all labels, but only those followed by an input. I assumed that since there was a selector for the forward lookup, there may be one for the inverse. — CodingIntrigue, Aug 28 '13 at 13:14
